As a recipient of an award from
the Jacobs Research Funds, you are required to deposit your field
materials in the Jacobs Research Funds Collection at the University of
Washington's Division of Archives and Manuscripts in the interests of
protecting your irreplaceable field data. Access to these materials
will be controlled as specified in the Deed of Gift which you will file with
your materials. The default is that you will have sole control over
the materials for twenty-five years, and on the twenty-fifth anniversary
of your award from the JRF, the public may gain access to your
materials.

When you archive your field materials, you must also file a
final report. Both forms are below left.
Send materials to:

University of Washington Libraries

Special Collections

Box 352900

Attn: Pacific Northwest Curator

Seattle WA 98195-2900

Depositors of field materials will be sent a copy of the
countersigned Deed of Gift form by UW Libraries.

The cost of copying your materials and delivering them to the
University of Washington is to be paid for out of the funds you
receive from the Jacobs Research Funds. A copy of your final report
should also be sent to jgrant@cob.org.

The importance of filing your
final reports and archiving the results of research cannot
be over-stated. Researchers may hold grants in consecutive
years, but the final report must be filed and materials
must be archived before subsequent funding can be
received.
